The Program in Public Health values high-quality education that moves beyond the simple transmission of information to production of creative and critical thinkers who will be able to maintain public health’s value to society in the future. This value is operationalized through provision of the Core and Concentration curricula leading to the MPH degree, which is supplemented by a variety of combined and concurrent degree options, the PhD in Population Health and Clinical Outcomes Research, the Master of Health Administration, and Advanced Graduate Certificate programs. They have as their cornerstones the development of analytical and critical thinking skills and an ecological approach to health improvement and disease prevention that will produce public health problem solvers and health management professionals with a population health perspective.
